Praise for A Woman Called Moses:
• Publishers Weekly: "Her story has been told before, but never as eloquently, almost poetically, as here... achingly real...a strong narrative of a totally committed woman, one who speaks directly to our own desperate need to feel committed — and our wish that somewhere in the world there were more people like Harriet Tubman."
• Washington Post Book World: "Profoundly rewarding...a daring work of the imagination."
• Chicago Sun Times: "Marcy Heidish has, almost uncannily, crawled into the skin and very mind of Harriet Tubman.... The dialogue sings with poetic beauty."
• Houghton Mifflin Co.: “As events build toward a stunning climax on the Underground Railroad, we are drawn into the spellbinding narrative of an extra-ordinary life, and a portion of our American past.
• A. Aragon (Albuquerque) Amazon.com Book Review: I had to read this book for my philosophy class. I was amazed at the history contained within the reading and the remarkable woman it described. I would defiantly read this book again.
• NaTasha.T (Tx) Amazon.com Book Review: I really enjoyed this book, it was better than I thought, I read the review above and I purchased the book anyway. Marcy Heidish takes you on the journey with Harriet, you feel as if you're walking along side going through the same hardships and challenges that Harriet had to face. I would recommend this book for teenagers to read, especially if you want them to value the blessings that they have in life in todays society. This book is not for younger kids because of some explicit language.
• Shirley Bartlett, Amazon.com Book Review: Sometimes you just have to do what you feel called to and she sure did her share. those folks some of them were treated very terribly so some one had to help them Great read and some good understanding of what they went through saving people.
